almost all the breoHs used by this and
surrounding Territories, powder VOTES,
breWeries and an armoly, all doing
profitable business. The iron Works,
which were erected some years ago,
have not been working for some time.
No better paying investment could be
made in the west, we are satisfied, than

The climate of this city is, of course.

the greater portion OF the Territory of

notice of this very important feature,

only moderately warm, while our de

Yides magnificent bathing for the warm
season; out our altitude and-our in
land sea are valuable for something
more than the delightful landscape
which they afford, or the fine hunting
and bathing which they embrace. AS
climatic agencies they cannot be over
estimated. 1t is well understood that
the higher the altitude, the more free
the atmosphere is from what is
known as bacterial species of
miraculously small insects which
perVade the air to q greater or
less extent in all attitudes, but which
exist to a larger degree in lower alti
tudes. These insects breed disease of
all kinds, and il is easily eomprehsu-
ded, therefore, that our height is
favorable to healthy maintenance OF
the body inasmuCh as the comparative.
absence of bacteria renders our atmos-i
phere less liable to breed contagious and
other diseases.
The close proximity of the lake, too,
is q climatic feature of Ogden City as 8
suitable place for residence for other
reasons besides those generally attrib
uted. Water occupies SO prominent
part in the phenomena observed by
man, that there is no need of our apol
ogy for mentioning it il connection
with the advantages which this region
offers
AS affecting the atmosphere, water is
a delightful study, ard its presence IS

locate and build NJ homAs and rear
healthy, robust families. We have not

subject of the relations of water to the
atmosphere, and'it IS sufficient for our
purpose to po,ut ont briefly the bene-
